POP CULTURE FORECAST: KOREAN GiRL BANDS ON THE LOOSE

    It all started when news flocked of Sandara Park, a former ABS-CBN Talent in the Philippines, hitting South Korean pop culture with her new formed girl band 2NE1. Her band's videos became a sudden hit on local MTV, mainly a good sign that the Filipinos still love Sandara Park. She was at the peak of her showbiz career when she finally decided to go back to Korea to study. Here in the Philippines, she sang novelty songs (a.k.a. good-for-nothing-Willie Revillame-like music that's played almost everywhere, forcing your subconscious mind to sing along even though you hate everything about it!). But now in Korea, Sandara Park sings of a totally new genre, and honestly she handles it pretty well.

    After 2NE1, then came Wonder Girls, another Korean girl band with their phenomenal hit NOBODY. NOBODY is played on local music channels, on local variety shows, on radio stations, and it even has an English version! Plus all of the girls look cute, hehe.. Local music is now influenced with Korean pop culture (after taking over the local television drama series, that is).


    Something tells me there's more to come of this fad on Korean bands.. Oh well, as long as the Philippines does not end up being a voluntary slave to that culture. Fads don't last that long anyway [cross fingers]..

    As for the moment, it's not bad to go with the flow.. "I want nobody nobody but choooo..."
